Ahhhhhh I have a date tonight with a Military Police Officer!

[rebgirl420]

So I broke up with my fiance John a while ago and after that I lived with my boyfriend Rob and then 6 months after that we broke up (he cheated on me with a goth chick) I met Ed. That all didn't go so well. For the last year I have felt like absolute crap emotionally. I've just been focusing on getting in shape for the Army and having some good laughs with friends.

So I've been single for about a month and decided I wanted to try to find someone who could be a friend and then possibly more. I didn't want to rush into things. However I am the type of person who does like the comfortability of a relationship. It's nice to have someone to come home to every night.

So I finally got asked out!

By a freaking Marine Corp Military Police Officer! We talked about me going to the Army to become a MP too and then we realized we have a ton in common.

Guys and gals, I am absolutely pumped! I'm just smoking, giggling and my face hurts for smiling so much.

I just had to say something. I'm really happy.

Sounds like you need to chill with the men (thats a lot of relationship in a small time). I have many friends that jump from one relationship to another all the time. Some people get caught up and feel they need to have a relationship all the time. I think you should go out on the date of course, you never know... but I hope that you make time for yourself as well. Being single after a wave of people is nice and refreshing but I also know that finding someone to spend your time with is awesome.

I agree.

I think for once I am going to try to take things slow and actually try to fall into the romantic aspects(not me at all but hey, it couldn't hurt) and just really try to make a friendship first.

What are you going to do if you end up REALLY liking this guy, but you find out he's very against the use of cannabis?

I guess I'm kind of thread-jacking here a tid bit, call me on it if you think this is inappropriate, but I've been in a heavy relationship for nearly a year and a half now with this amazing person whom I love dearly. I am still "in love" with this person and keep finding new ways to express it and enjoy it.

The one problem between us is that we grew up in two VERY different lifestyles. Her parents are loaded, they have raised her to fill every waking moment of her life with something productive (sports, music, academics, dance) and I have grown up in a family with a tight budget and a family who guides me to doors, but lets me decide if I want to go through them.

That being said, she has never had time to experience or educate herself about cannabis. She despises that I plan to keep using it in the future and she hates that I want it to be a part of my life for a LONG time. I've been trying to show her all of the wondrous things about cannabis but she's been brainwashed. Note, I am NOT trying to make her become a user in the least bit, but I want her to accept my use and my advocating its use...

So I ask you, rebgirl, if you discover that this guy is "the one" for you (not saying he is, just speaking hypothetically here) and you find out he is very anti-cannabis, what would your course of action be?

I don't want to have it come down to cannabis or her you know? I love her and I love literally everything that has to do with cannabis. I'm at a loss and was hoping an intelligent woman who is an avid consumer like yourself could shed some light as to how I should approach this issue...

Thank you and sorry for the thread jack...

You don't have to change yourself to find a slow and meaningful relationship. I think going with the flow and keeping a good head will be just what you need. If a relationship follows then thats awesome...if not, then you can always enjoy your single life a little while longer. Getting out there and dating is always a great idea, just make sure you have time for yourself and KNOW what you really want before you go for it. I hope your just not pressed for finding love or being in a relationship. That will come naturally and at most times, when you least suspect it!

[rebgirl420]

I would want the guy to accept me for me, regardless. As long as my bills were still being paid, I'm not getting arrested, being irresponsible or neglecting the relationship of course.

I told him I smoked, I assume he doesn't becuase he's in the military but you never know. I have to quit soon before basic training anyway but let's say that I didn't and someone layed that shit on me I would be hurt. Considering if we were dating they obviously liked me when I used pot.

My point exactly, she has gotten to the point now where she respects my decisions, but won't support my use. Any advice on how to overcome this? Or should I leave it alone for a while? I just wish she had the time to get educated...

[JeffersonBud]

She just needs to be educated about cannabis. She also needs to know why it helps you (besides the medical use, i.e. calms you down, makes you sleep better at night, social relaxation, focus...). If she is worried about the smoking part, get a vaporizer or ingest it. Make sure cannabis is not effecting your life negatively as well. If it is, then she is just worried about you. If she still cant look at it like a rational person, then I think its time for a change, if the drug means that much to you...

[rebgirl420]

Talk about it.
Talk.
Talk.
Talk.
Talk.
Talk!

Leaving it alone and ignoring it for a while isn't going to fix it. You need to have some serious sit downs with her and try to show that the man she fell for and loves uses marijuana.

Ahhhh he comes over to get me at 10 and I'm pumped. Why can't time go faster damnit!?
